TOP-RATED AMSTERDAM ESCAPE ROOM

75 MINUTES

GROUPS OF 2 - 5

OPEN DAILY

IN ENGLISH
ESCAPE THE ROZENTHEATER
One hundred years ago, the Rozentheater was Amsterdam’s first movie palace, with 1000 seats, a large balcony, and a state-of-the-art movie projector. During the roaring 20s and beyond, the people of the Jordaan neighborhood sat spellbound in their seats while the mighty projector shined fantasies on the silver screen.
Today, the Rozentheater is a popular venue with theaters, a bar, and of course, the Boom Chicago comedy show. Although it’s no longer a cinema, the old projection booth still exists. Your journey begins in the projection booth, where you start the projector and enter the movies.
The mission takes 75 minutes, and everybody reaches the thrilling finale. For the competitive groups, points are awarded, and you can compare yourself to everybody before you. With a team drink afterwards (not included), the entire experience takes two hours.
Arrive at least 15 minutes early. At your start time, you enter the original projection booth where your journey begins.

You know your children. While obviously not suited for small children, mature 11 and 12-year-olds and upwards might enjoy it. If they command a healthy sense of adventure and don’t mind being a little scared, then maybe they will have a great time — under the supervision of an adult of course. It is a great experience to have together as a family!
